Solar Star, California’s most extensive and best-producing solar farm, provides enough clean energy to power 250,000 homes. The farm stands in Kern and Los Angeles counties and is not only the most significant Solar Farm in California but the largest in the world when completed in 2015. The Solar Farm comprises 1.7 million solar panels spread over 13 square kilometers (3,200 acres). That’s 142 football fields or 4 Central Parks!

California is the leading state in renewable energy and hosts some of the largest solar power plants in the United States. Solar Star produced 579 megawatts of energy, enough to power 255,000 homes. Southern California Edison buys that energy and distributes it to its customers. The farm splits into two installations: Solar Star 1 and Solar Star 2. Solar Star 1 produces 314 MW, and number 2 makes a little less at 265 MW. Solar Star ranks as the largest installed capacity, using 1.7 million solar panels over 13 square kilometers.
